'This is a useful and comprehensive work that covers the vast majority of accessible cycle routes. Inspiring photographs, short routes to enjoy, clear directions – perfect for that quiet Sunday afternoon ride. Read it, you may well be surprised to discover some wonderful treats within a short distance of your home.' – Matt Johnson, LoveReading
‘The best place to cycle with children or friends who aren’t confident cycling is on a traffic-free trail, and this book lists 400 of the best of them throughout Great Britain. It is the fourth version of a guide first published in 2004, offering information on routes that are often old railway lines. There are also map and website recommendations, and handy tips like where to park and stop for refreshments. I particularly liked Nick’s succinct history of the trails, as I learned new things about routes that I have ridden many times.’ – Victoria Hazael, Cycling UK digital and content manager
